Best Buds

News hit early today about the film that might follow Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The full report is over at Pajiba, but here is the crux of it.

Natalie Portman and her production company, Handsome Charlie Films, are currently searching for a director to helm Best Buds, a stoner road comedy Portman is producing and set to star in. The independently financed comedy is said to be in the vein of Harold and Kumar and Half-Baked and will center on two best female friends who take a road trip to their friend’s wedding in order to save her by bringing her weed.

According to our source, The Hollywood Cog, the script comes from actress Jamie Denbo, who is probably best known for writing and starring in a popular Showtime pilot, “Ronna & Beverly,” which was directed by Paul Feig, but never got picked up for series (it was apparently only aired for tax purposes).

Some thoughts after the jump.

Your Highness Has Been Seen

There was a test screening on the weekend and it sounds like they’re onto a winner. Here are two mini reviews from the IMDB boards.

Thebatsam:

I saw a test screening the other day of this and it is most definitly R rated. Very vulger, lots of nudity and very, very funny.

The acting was fine, lots of respectable actors (Toby Jones, Damian Lewis, Charles Dance) and Natalie Portman is great because she takes it very seriously, she has hilarious lines but says them with complete seriousness and passion, it worked great.

I’m glad Natalie is playing it straight. I saw Black Dynamite recently, soooo much fun, and Michael Jai White is so funny in the film because he isn’t playing it for laughs.
